It is very handy.  I changed the knobs with silver pulls to match the ones on me night stands.  I also had my son reinforce the back with a large X of 2 inch wide, 1/2 inch thick, painted black strips of wood, so it would be more sturdy with my 42 inch tv set on top.  It holds so many odd things that I don't know where else to put them, but still need them.  All in all I love it, would have loved it even more if we did not have to add the X on the back. 

Cons: Not sturdy for a tv without reinforcement.
